Trajectory prediction based on long short-term memory network and Kalman filter using hurricanes as an example - Wanting Qin; Jun Tang; Cong Lu; Songyang Lao (Computational Geosciences, 2021)
Trajectory data can objectively reflect the moving law of moving objects. Therefore, trajectory prediction has high application value. Hurricanes often cause incalculable losses of life and property, trajectory prediction can be an effective means to mitigate damage caused by hurricanes. With the popularization and wide application of artificial intelligence technology, from the perspective of machine learning, this paper trains a trajectory prediction model through historical trajectory data based on a long short-term memory (LSTM) network. An improved LSTM (ILSTM) trajectory prediction algorithm that improves the prediction of the simple LSTM is proposed, and the Kalman filter is used to filter the prediction results of the improved LSTM algorithm, which is called LSTM-KF. Through simulation experiments of Atlantic hurricane data from 1851 to 2016, compared to other LSTM and ILSTM algorithms, it is found that the LSTM-KF trajectory prediction algorithm has the lowest prediction error and the best prediction effect.

PtP38 May Increase the Immune Ability of Portunus trituberculatus Stimulated by LPS Imitating a Gram-Negative Bacterial Infection - Cheng-Peng Lu; Chao-Guang Wei; Jun-Quan Zhu; Dao-Jun Tang; Chun-Lin Wang; Cong-Cong Hou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathway is widespread in organisms and plays important roles in immune activities. The infection mechanism of environmental gram-negative bacteria on crustaceans is an important scientific problem. In this study, the cDNA full-length sequence of Portunus trituberculatus P38 (PtP38) was cloned and its structure was analyzed by bioinformatics methods. To study the function of the PtP38 gene after a Gram-negative bacterial infection, we injected P. trituberculatus with LPS to activate the immune response instead of directly infecting with Gram-negative bacteria. With LPS stimulation, the expression of the PtP38 gene in different tissues increased significantly. At the same time, the expression of immune-related genes (ALF and crustin) in the hepatopancreas, activities of antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) enzymes], and expression of apoptosis-related genes (caspase2 and caspase3) were increased significantly. To further conform the function of PtP38 in the immune response, we injected P. trituberculatus with P38 inhibitor and subsequently injected with LPS. The results showed that the expression of immune-related genes was inhibited, the activity of antioxidant enzymes was decreased, and the expression of apoptosis-related genes were inhibited. Thus, we speculated that PtP38 may increase the immune ability by improving the expression of antimicrobial peptides, increasing the activity of oxidative stress-related enzymes, and promoting cell apoptosis in infected P. trituberculatus . This study also laid the foundation for further study of the P38 MAPK signaling pathway and immune mechanism of P. trituberculatus .

FlowCell-enriched circulating tumor cells as a predictor of lung cancer metastasis - Yan Lu; Yushuang Zheng; Yuhong Wang; Dongmei Gu; Jun Zhang; Fang Liu; Kai Chen; Lingchuan Guo (Human Cell, 2021)
Lung cancer is the most fetal malignancy due to the high rate of metastasis and recurrence after treatment. A considerable number of patients with early-stage lung cancer relapse due to overlooked distant metastasis. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are tumor cells in blood circulation that originated from primary or metastatic sites, and it has been shown that CTCs are critical for metastasis and prognosis in various type of cancers. Here, we employed novel method to capture, isolate and classify CTC with FlowCell system and analyzed the CTCs from a cohort of 302 individuals. Our results illustrated that FlowCell-enriched CTCs effectively differentiated benign and malignant lung tumor and the total CTC counts increased as the tumor developed. More importantly, we showed that CTCs displayed superior sensitivity and specificity to predict lung cancer metastasis in comparison to conventional circulating biomarkers. Taken together, our data suggested CTCs can be used to assist the diagnosis of lung cancer as well as predict lung cancer metastasis. These findings provide an alternative means to screen early-stage metastasis.

Multi‐omics reveal the pathways involved in induced defensive colony formation of Tetradesmus obliquus in response to Daphnia grazing cues - Xuexia Zhu; Yunfei Sun; Lu Zhang; Jun Wang; Lei Gu; Yuan Huang; Zhou Yang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Inducible defenses occur in various taxa of prey organisms. Many phytoplankton species, including the freshwater Chlorophyta Tetradesmus spp., can form defensive morphs under the zooplankton‐released grazing cues. However, definite statements on the actual mechanisms of inducible defense in phytoplankton are quite deficient. In the present study, the defensive mechanism of Tetradesmus obliquus (formerly known as Scenedesmus obliquus ) induced by Daphnia infochemicals was analyzed through multifaceted analyses integrating physiological and biochemical monitoring, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. Results showed that the upregulated genes encoding G protein‐coupled receptor and phospholipase C were involved in the perception and transduction of grazing cues, and the transcripts related to extracellular polysaccharides formation and transductions were upregulated. The results provided molecular evidence for the role of extracellular polysaccharides in colony formation. Increased lipid content revealed through metabolomics suggested higher investment in lipid biosynthesis within colonial cells, whereas the downregulation of ribosome‐related pathways indicated less allocation of energy and resources to protein biosynthesis. The significant increase in indole‐3‐acetic acid content indicated that growth was activated under grazing cues. This study provided essential information on the inducible defensive mechanism of Tetradesmus and direct evidence for the intracellular reallocation of resources and energy owing to the defensive colony formation, which had considerable implications for enriching the theory of inducible defenses at the molecular level.

Modes of exploitation of atmospheric water resources in the Qinghai–Tibet plateau - Fang‐Fang Li; Kang Zhao; Hou‐Liang Lu; Guang‐Qian Wang; Jun Qiu (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Known as “China's Water Tower,” the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) becomes warm and humid in the short term but faces drought in the long term because of global climate change. Atmospheric water resources seem to be the only choice in the QTP region to alleviate drought conditions. Analysis of water vapour distribution and evaluation of exploitation modes of atmospheric water resources are carried out in this study. Different exploitation modes of atmospheric water resources including routine, selective, and emergency‐oriented exploitation are distinguished using water vapour budget and its distribution entropy. Zoning of the QTP indicates that routine exploitation, that is, long‐term, continuous, and fixed‐point exploitation, can only be carried out in its eastern part, while the middle and western parts are suitable for selective exploitation. Such entropy‐based assessment and zoning can be used as a reference for the exploitation of atmospheric water in the QTP in the future. Furthermore, the proposed zoning criteria can be used to estimate the exploitability of atmospheric water resources.

CD40 induces an antimicrobial response against the intracellular pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus - Hongli Xia; Huimin Fan; Meng Long; Jun Cheng; Wenjie Chen; Dapeng Yu; Liqun Xia; Yishan Lu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Streptococcus agalactiae is a Gram‐positive facultative intracellular bacterium that leads to severe economic loss of tilapia worldwide. Previous studies demonstrated that CD40 contributes to host protection against intracellular injection. In this study, CD40 was characterized from Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), named OnCD40. Sequence analysis showed that open reading frame of OnCD40 was 933 bp, containing a single peptide, a transmembrane domain and four cysteine‐rich domains. The qRT‐PCR revealed that OnCD40 was expressed in all examined tissues with the most abundant ones in spleen and thymus. After S. agalactiae stimulation, the expression of OnCD40 was significantly induced in most of the detected organs. Moreover, OnCD40‐overexpressing fish elicited significant protection against subsequent S. agalactiae challenge; approximately 10000‐fold fewer bacteria were detected in spleen of OnCD40‐overexpressing fish in comparison with control fish. Thus, CD40 had protecting function in Nile tilapia against intracellular pathogens.

Observed trends of different rainfall intensities and the associated spatiotemporal variations during 1958–2016 in Guangxi , China - Nian Xiu Qin; Jun Neng Wang; Liang Gao; Yang Hong; Jia Li Huang; Qin Qin Lu (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
In a changing climate, drought and flood hazards become more frequent, posing high risks to human life and property. The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is selected as the study area. The flood and drought records, and the daily precipitation data at 23 stations from 1958 to 2016 are adopted. The temporal and spatial trends of precipitation intensities, precipitation days and the corresponding proportions relative to the total amounts are examined using the Mann‐Kendall trend test. The influence of the rainfall intensity on floods and droughts in Guangxi is also investigated. During the past 59 years in Guangxi, there is a significant decrease in light rain, and an increase in rainstorm in general. The larger the rainfall intensity is, the more stations show increasing trends of the corresponding rain events on different time scales (the monthly, seasonal or annual scale). Significant decreasing trends of the number of days with light precipitation are found over entire Guangxi, while increasing trends of the number of days with rainstorm events are widely distributed in most parts of Guangxi. There is a decrease in the number of stations indicating increases in proportion of light precipitation days, while an increase in the number of stations showing increases in proportion of rainstorm days. A significant increase in flood hazards is detected since the 1990s. The precipitation in Guangxi tends to be intensified in the future. The frequency and intensity of drought and flood events are very likely to increase, posing challenges to future agricultural production, water resources planning and management.

(European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2020)
Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus infection pneumonia in Wuhan City, China, in late 2019, such cases have been gradually reported in other parts of China and abroad. Children have become susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) because of their immature immune function. As the outbreak has progressed, more cases of novel coronavirus infection/pneumonia in children have been reported. Compared with adults, the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is less severe, with a lower incidence and susceptibility in children, which results in fewer children being tested, thereby underestimating the actual number of infections. Therefore, strengthening the diagnosis of the disease is particularly important for children, and early and clear diagnosis can determine treatment strategies and reduce the harm caused by the disease to children. According to the Novel Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Standards ( trial version 7 ) issued by National Health Committee and the latest diagnosis and treatment strategies for novel coronavirus infection pneumonia in children, this review summarizes current strategies on diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children.

Key rules of life and the fading cryosphere: Impacts in alpine lakes and streams - James J. Elser; Chenxi Wu; Angélica L. González; Daniel H. Shain; Heidi J. Smith; Ruben Sommaruga; Craig E. Williamson; Janice Brahney; Scott Hotaling; Joseph Vanderwall; Jinlei Yu; Vladimir Aizen; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Alpine regions are changing rapidly due to loss of snow and ice in response to ongoing climate change. While studies have documented ecological responses in alpine lakes and streams to these changes, our ability to predict such outcomes is limited. We propose that the application of fundamental rules of life can help develop necessary predictive frameworks. We focus on four key rules of life and their interactions: the temperature dependence of biotic processes from enzymes to evolution; the wavelength dependence of the effects of solar radiation on biological and ecological processes; the ramifications of the non‐arbitrary elemental stoichiometry of life; and maximization of limiting resource use efficiency across scales. As the cryosphere melts and thaws, alpine lakes and streams will experience major changes in temperature regimes, absolute and relative inputs of solar radiation in ultraviolet and photosynthetically active radiation, and relative supplies of resources (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus), leading to nonlinear and interactive effects on particular biota, as well as on community and ecosystem properties. We propose that applying these key rules of life to cryosphere‐influenced ecosystems will reduce uncertainties about the impacts of global change and help develop an integrated global view of rapidly changing alpine environments. However, doing so will require intensive interdisciplinary collaboration and international cooperation. More broadly, the alpine cryosphere is an example of a system where improving our understanding of mechanistic underpinnings of living systems might transform our ability to predict and mitigate the impacts of ongoing global change across the daunting scope of diversity in Earth's biota and environments.

(Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2020)
We examined the distribution and genetic variability of the greater amberjack Seriola dumerili in the East China Sea (ECS) from the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of young-of-the-year (YOY) individuals, which may reflect the genetic characteristics of the spawning population. In the years 2016 and 2017, a total of 165 YOY S. dumerili were collected from two different locations in the ECS: the southern part of the ECS, and western Japanese coast. The spawning period was estimated using otolith daily increments from a total of 67 larvae and juveniles collected in the ECS. Results from size and age distribution indicated that S. dumerili spawned near the shelf break region in the southern ECS from January to April. Phylogenetic analysis based on mtDNA sequence data showed no significant genetic differentiation among samples collected from different locations, implying S. dumerili in the ECS is mainly composed of one population. S. dumerili around the Japanese coast may be originated from the southern ECS.

The elevation of each beach ridge calibrated to the modern lake level was surveyed. Optically stimulated luminescence dating of undisturbed sediments of beach ridges was performed. The lake area and water volume corresponding to each beach ridge were calculated using a digital elevation model. This study reveals relatively reduced monsoon precipitation from ~12 to 7 ka interrupted by strengthening of the monsoon circulation to a maximum from ~7 to ~5 ka and followed by greatly reduced monsoon intensity until the present day. These results demonstrate that changes in the East Asian summer monsoon precipitation may not be directly driven by global temperature or atmospheric CO 2 content. Rather, we suggest that variation in the the monsoon margin precipitation is probably mainly driven by ice volume and subordinately by the summer solar insolation difference between mid‐latitude land and low‐latitude ocean.

RIG-I aggravates interstitial fibrosis via c-Myc-mediated fibroblast activation in UUO mice - Zhuanli Zhou; Jiayun Ni; Jingyao Li; Chuanbing Huo; Naijun Miao; Fan Yin; Qian Cheng; Dan Xu; Hongyan Xie; Panpan Chen; Peiqing Zheng; Yingying Zhang; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2020)
Progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the common final outcome for all kidney diseases evolving into chronic kidney disease (CKD), whereas molecular mechanisms driving fibrogenesis remain elusive. Retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I), an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, is originally identified participating in immune response by recognizing virus RNA. Here, we revealed for the first time that RIG-I was induced in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and folic acid (FA) renal fibrosis models and moderate-degree renal fibrosis patients. Besides, we found RIG-I was mainly located in renal tubular epithelial cells and promoted the production and release of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 through activation of NF-κB. Inflammatory cytokines released by tubular epithelial cells activated c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad signaling in fibroblasts, which in turn aggravated interstitial fibrosis by promoting fibroblast activation and production of extracellular matrix components (ECM). Deficiency of RIG-I attenuated renal fibrosis by the regulation of inflammatory responses, c-Myc expression, and fibroblast activation. Besides, gene silencing of RIG-I reduced inflammatory cytokines in cultured tubular epithelial cells treated with Angiotensin II. Knockdown of c-Myc or c-Myc inhibitor blocked IL-1β-induced fibroblast activation. Collectively, our study demonstrates that RIG-I plays a significant role in the progress of renal fibrosis via regulating c-Myc-mediated fibroblast activation. Key messages • RIG-I was constantly elevated in kidneys from renal fibrotic mice. • RIG-I facilitated inflammatory cytokine production in tubular epithelial cells. • RIG-I aggravated renal fibrosis via c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad activation.

Sky islands as foci for divergence of fig trees and their pollinators in southwest China - Jun‐Yin Deng; Rong‐Hua Fu; Stephen G. Compton; Mei Liu; Qin Wang; Chuan Yuan; Lu‐Shui Zhang; Yan Chen (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
The dynamics of populations and their divergence over time have shaped current levels of biodiversity and in the case of the “sky islands” of mountainous southwest (SW) China have resulted in an area of exceptional botanical diversity. Ficus tikoua is a prostrate fig tree subendemic to the area that displays unique intraspecific diversity, producing figs typical of different pollination modes in different parts of its range. By combining climate models, genetic variation in populations of the tree's obligate fig wasp pollinators and distributions of the different plant phenotypes, we examined how this unusual situation may have developed. We identified three genetically distinct groups of a single Ceratosolen pollinator species that have largely parapatric distributions. The complex topography of the region contributed to genetic divergence among the pollinators by facilitating geographical isolation and providing refugia. Migration along elevations in response to climate oscillations further enhanced genetic differentiation of the three pollinator groups. Their distributions loosely correspond to the distributions of the functionally significant morphological differences in the male figs of their host plants, but postglacial expansion of one group has not been matched by spread of its associated plant phenotype, possibly due to a major river barrier. The results highlight how interplay between the complex topography of the “sky island” complex and climate change has shaped intraspecies differentiation and relationships between the plant and its pollinator. Similar processes may explain the exceptional botanical diversity of SW China.

(International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Differences, arising from differences in gross primary production (GPP) model structures and driving forces, have fuelled arguments concerning interannual changes of GPP in China since 2000. To better investigate the interannual variability of GPP and its covariance with climate factors in China, this study adopted a multi‐model analysis based on three GPP models (i.e., Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon flux model [TEC], Breathing Earth System Simulator model [BESS], and MOD17 GPP model). The results show that annual GPP in China increased by 0.021–0.057 Pg C year −1 from 2000 to 2015 attributable to atmospheric‐CO 2 fertilization effects and favourable climate change, that is, increasing precipitation ( P r ) and temperature ( T a ). However, northern China and southern China had a large difference in the amplitude of these GPP changes; annual GPP increased by 0.017–0.039 Pg C year −1 in northern China but only 0.001–0.018 Pg C year −1 in southern China. Northern China and southern China occupy contrasting climate zones and this contrast produced different interannual variability of GPP through different mechanisms. Northern China has a dry climate with GPP changes sensitive to P r . As a result, more P r along with higher T a in northern China produced the strong uptrend of GPP from 2000 to 2015. In contrast, southern China has a wet climate with its GPP sensitive to solar radiation and T a . For the interval of 2000–2015, decreasing radiation plus drought exerted a negative influence on GPP in southern China. This study highlights the diverse mechanisms in which climate change affects GPP in dry and wet climate zones. A robust multi‐model analysis is preferred to reduce uncertainties arising from a single GPP model and its driving data.

Development of attenuated erythromycin‐resistant Streptococcus agalactiae vaccine for tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) culture - Ling Liu; Dan‐Qi Lu; Jun Xu; Heng‐Li Luo; An‐Xing Li (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019)
Streptococcus agalactiae is an important pathogen in fish, causing great losses of intensive tilapia farming. To develop a potential live attenuated vaccine, a re‐attenuated S. agalactiae (named TFJ‐ery) was developed from a natural low‐virulence S. agalactiae strain TFJ0901 through selection of resistance to erythromycin. The biological characteristics, virulence, stability and the immunization protective efficacy to tilapia of TFJ‐ery were determined. The results indicated that TFJ‐ery grew at a slower rate than TFJ0901. The capsule thickness of TFJ‐ery was significantly less ( p 0.05) than TFJ0901. When Nile tilapia were intraperitoneally (IP) injected with TFJ‐ery, the mortality of fish was decreased than that injected with TFJ0901. The RPS of fish immunized with TFJ‐ery at a dose of 5.0 × 10 7 CFU was 95.00%, 93.02% and 100.00% at 4, 8 and 16 weeks post‐vaccination, respectively. ELISA results showed that the vaccinated fish produced significantly higher ( p 0.05) antibody titres compared to those of control at 2 or 4 weeks post‐vaccination. Taken together, our results suggest that erythromycin could be used to attenuate S. agalactiae , and TFJ‐ery is a potent attenuated vaccine candidate to protect tilapia against S. agalactiae infections.

The niches of nuthatches affect their lineage evolution differently across latitude - Yu‐Chi Chen; Masoud Nazarizadeh; Fu‐Min Lei; Xiao‐Jun Yang; Cheng‐Te Yao; Feng Dong; Lu Dong; Fa‐Sheng Zou; Sergei V. Drovetski; Yang Liu; Chun‐Cheng Huang; Chih‐Ming Hung (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
Ecological niche evolution can promote or hinder the differentiation of taxa and determine their distribution. Niche‐mediated evolution may differ among climatic regimes, and thus, species that occur across a wide latitudinal range offer a chance to test these heterogeneous evolutionary processes. In this study, we examine (a) how many lineages have evolved across the continent‐wide range of the Eurasian nuthatch ( Sitta europaea ), (b) whether the lineages’ niches are significantly divergent or conserved and (c) how their niche evolution explains their geographic distribution. Phylogenetic reconstruction and ecological niche models (ENMs) showed that the Eurasian nuthatch contained six parapatric lineages that diverged within 2 Myr and did not share identical climatic niches. However, the niche discrepancy between these distinct lineages was relatively conserved compared with the environmental differences between their ranges and thus was unlikely to drive lineage divergence. The ENMs of southern lineages tended to cross‐predict with their neighbouring lineages whereas those of northern lineages generally matched with their abutting ranges. The coalescence‐based analyses revealed more stable populations for the southern lineages than the northern ones during the last glaciation cycle. In contrast to the overlapping ENMs, the smaller parapatric distribution suggests that the southern lineages might have experienced competitive exclusion to prevent them from becoming sympatric. On the other hand, the northern lineages have expanded their ranges and their current abutting distribution might have resulted from lineages adapting to different climatic conditions in allopatry. This study suggests that niche evolution may affect lineage distribution in different ways across latitude.

Virulence regulation of cel‐ EIIB protein mediated PTS system in Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia - Jun Xu; Yun‐Dan Xie; Ling Liu; Song Guo; You‐Lu Su; An‐Xing Li (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019)
Streptococcus agalactiae is a major pathogen of tilapia causing significant economic losses for the global aquatic industry yearly. To elucidate the role of cel‐ EIIB protein‐mediated phosphotransferase systems ( PTS ) in the virulence regulation of S. agalactiae , cel‐ EIIB gene deletion in a virulent strain THN 0901 was achieved by homologous recombination. The cellobiose utilization of △ cel‐ EIIB strain was significantly decreased relative to S.a . THN 0901 strain incubating in LB with 10 mg/ ml cellobiose ( p cel‐ EIIB strain was also significantly decreased when cultured in BHI medium ( p cel‐ EIIB strain was dramatically decreased (20%), of which S.a . THN 0901 strain and △ cel‐ EIIB ::i strain were 53.33% and 50%, respectively. The competition experience using tilapia model indicated the invasion and colonization ability of △ cel‐ EIIB strain was significantly weaker than that of S.a . THN 0901 strain ( p cel‐ EIIB ::i strain, the mRNA expression of csrS , csrR , rgfA, rgfC, bgrR and bgrS was significantly downregulated in △ cel‐ EIIB strain ( p EIIB protein‐mediated cel‐ PTS not only contributes to biofilm formation and virulence regulation, but also plays an important role in the invasion and colonization of S. agalactiae .

Factors controlling evaporation and the CO 2 flux over an open water lake in southwest of China on multiple temporal scales - Qun Du; Hui Zhi Liu; Yang Liu; Lei Wang; Lu Jun Xu; Ji Hua Sun; An Lun Xu (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Interactions between lakes and the atmosphere are poorly understood, especially for lakes in highland areas. A better understanding of the physical processes controlling turbulent exchange dynamics over lakes is crucial to improve the numerical modelling of the lake–climate interaction. Four years of continuous measurements of energy and CO 2 fluxes are conducted over a shallow highland lake (Lake Erhai) in China using eddy covariance (EC) technique from 2012 to 2015. It is found that the latent heat flux (LE) and sensible heat flux ( H ) has distinct diurnal and seasonal variations. The diurnal H and LE ranges from −31 to 21 W/m 2 and from 31 to 171 W/m 2 , respectively. The heat is stored in the lake from January to June and released from July to the end of the year. The annual total evaporation of Lake Erhai varies from 1120.8 to 1228.5 mm/a, which is always higher than the annual total precipitation. On diurnal scale, the CO 2 uptake is observed during most of the midday period. On an annual scale, the Lake Erhai behaves as a net CO 2 source, with an annual CO 2 budget ranging from 117.5 to 161.7 g C m −2 a −1 . The temperature difference (Δ T ) between the water surface ( T s ) and the air temperature ( T a ), and the product of Δ T and wind speed ( U ) are the major drivers of H from half‐hourly to monthly scale. The main factors controlling LE are U and the product of U and the vapour pressure difference (VPD) on half‐hourly and daily scales, the total cloud cover, and net radiation ( R n ) on the monthly scale. Photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) and U has a close relationship with half‐hourly and daily CO 2 fluxes, respectively, while annual precipitation and T s has a larger effect on annual CO 2 fluxes.
